ビーマは言った。「我が子よ、我はそなたに従う。ドリシュタデュムナもサーティヤキも、パンチャーラの勇士たちも、ケーカヤの王子たちも、マツヤの軍勢も、そしてプラバドラカの一同も――皆ことごとく、そなたの後に続く。」
भीम उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic resolve expressed as loyal support: in a righteous struggle, commitment is strengthened when leaders and allied forces stand together, follow a chosen commander, and share the burden of action.
Bhīma declares that he will follow the addressed leader, and he lists major allied contingents—Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Sātyaki, the Pāñcālas, Kekayas, Matsyas, and Prabhadrakas—signaling a coordinated advance and unified backing in the battle context of Droṇa Parva.
